Tavern at Mission Farms

This has been a favorite for a long time. The food here is really good and they change the menu from time to time. You can get appetizers or full dinner service at the bar. Very friendly staff. Learn names and preferences very quickly. Managers are always checking on guests and keeping track of what is going on. I like that. Used to own a restaurant in another life, so it is very assuring to see that the managers know what to watch for.

The bar seating is excellent. However, about the only negative on the atmosphere is that when you get seated in the restaurant part it feels like you are somewhat isolated from the life of the restaurant. Some people probably really like that, but I suppose I like being more in the middle of what is going on.

Great patio. VERY dog friendly.
